Xtracycle LLC warrants Xtracycle products to be free from defects in material and workmanship
subject to the conditions and limitations set forth below. Xtracycle’s sole obligation under
this warranty is to repair or replace the product(s), at Xtracycle’s option.
¥The FreeRadical frame is warranted for the lifetime of the product while with the
original owner.
¥Components are warranted for one year.
¥In no event shall Xtracycle be liable for any loss, inconvenience or consequential
damages.
¥This warranty does not cover damage due to wear and tear, overloading, misuse, abuse,
neglect, accidents, improper assembly or repair, or anything else beyond Xtracycle s
immediate control. A partial list of preventable damage not covered by this
warranty: rusting of the FreeRadical; delamination of the SnapDeck; galvanic
corrosion at FreeRadical/V-rack joints; bending of the FreeRadical s Long Stays by
overloading behind the dropouts (more than 100 pounds is too much here); failure of
your rear wheel; disfiguration of the rack sockets; plastic buckle failure due to
over-tightening straps; and damage resulting from stunt riding, jumping, acrobatics,
competitive riding, or commercial use.
¥Xtracycle will be the sole arbiter of whether or not damage is due to defects in
materials and workmanship.
¥Warranty claims require proof of purchase and must be made through an authorized
dealer.
¥The labor required to remove and/or re-fit and readjust the FreeRadical is not
covered by this warranty.
¥Any postage, insurance or shipping costs incurred in sending your FreeRadical for
service are your responsibility.
We of course want you to get the utmost enjoyment and utility from your FreeRadical and will
seek to assist you, for a nominal charge, in remedying any injuries that it may sustain. You
should be aware that installation of the FreeRadical may void the manufacturer s warranty on
your bicycle.
In addition to being good for your mind, your body, your community, and your planet, cycling can be very
dangerous. Cycling with two people on one bike and/or with cargo can be even more dangerous. The user of this
product should know that participating in cycling may involve serious injury or death.
Always wear a helmet; this includes any passengers. There is absolutely, positively no question that they
help prevent injury and save lives.
Standing, kneeling, or sitting backwards or sideways (both legs on the same side of the bike) on the SnapDeck
while the bike is moving or stopped can easily result in broken limbs, loss of control of the bike, destroyed
rims, a destroyed bike frame, or worse.
Carrying a load and riding a long-wheelbase bike both require getting accustomed to. Practice maneuvering and
braking on a flat, hazard- and traffic-free street with and without a load before going out into the world.
Carrying a seated passenger or heavy load involves risks, foremost of which can be decreased braking power
and increased stopping distance. Always make sure you have at least two well-adjusted brakes. Drum, roller,
or coaster brakes ARE NOT suited to hilly riding or heavy loads and can fail under serious strain when you
need them most! We strongly recommend rim and/or disc brakes, though these carry their own risks: under
severe loads (as when carrying a passenger or cargo at high speed) a very strong front brake can lead to
failure of the front fork. For this reason, don’t use the front brake by itself; the rear or rear and front
brake should be used in all braking situations.
The user of this product acknowledges both an understanding and an assumption of the risks involved in
cycling, cycling with cargo, and cycling with a passenger. Children incapable of riding a bike on their own
or under the age of 6 should not ride on the FreeRadical as passengers, unless it’s equipped with the
Xtracycle Child Seat accessory. Children should not ride as passengers without an adult operating the
Xtracycle SUB.
No warning is a substitute for good judgement. Use yours always. If you have reason to suspect that your own
judgement isn’t great, share your plans with somebody you respect, and ask for a second opinion.
